Another great show is nearing its end.
Orange Is the New Black star Taylor Schilling talks about her final season hopes as Piper Chapman readjusts to life on the outside.
“She’s beginning to navigate what it’s like to live in the civilian world again, and learning that freedom doesn’t come immediately when she steps outside of prison,” Schilling told Entertainment Weekly. “She becomes a little bit bolder expressing what she wants rather than trying to fit in and make it about other people.”
Life outside of prison also brings separation from Alex (Laura Prepon), whom Piper married at the end of season 6.
“Piper really realizes that Alex is fundamentally a part of her journey. That’s the choice that Piper is making, that Alex’s love is very important to her.”
The seventh and final season of OITNB will drop on Friday, July 26 on Netflix.
“After seven seasons, it’s time to be released from prison. I will miss all the badass ladies of Litchfield and the incredible crew we’ve worked with,” series creator Jenji Kohan said in a statement when the end of the show was announced. “My heart is orange but fade to black.”
